"Oh? What made you say such words, Gu Wenren? From a handsome young master to an instant senior, don't you think that you making these assumptions is just too abrupt for anyone to believe?
Much less I who really doesn't think of myself as anything but a cool and kind young master in this world."
Clark replied and he still remained lying on the bed as if they were talking about nonsensical things and nothing too serious about it.
Alas, this picture of calmness has only further convinced Gu Wenren about the veracity of her intuition.
But more than that, this expert cultivator of the Demonic Sword Sect would never judge anything on baseless accusations.
In truth, Gu Wenren has all the evidence that she needed to have in her hands.
"You must be joking at the expense of this humble junior, Young Master Clark."
Gu Wenren was tactful enough to change strategies and catered to the likes of our good gamer to be called as Young Master and not take the aged designation of one lofty and unreachable Senior.
"No one in this continent could cultivate the same way you do. From having no spiritual vein until arriving at your current cultivation at the 10th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm today, you only needed less than 2 weeks to achieve this feat.
And there's more. I can feel that in the two times that our paths have crossed in the past, you were not really intent in hiding your strength at all.
So how can this unworthy junior serve you, Young Master Clark?" Gu Wenren bowed deeply in place.
There was no need for her to enumerate the things that our bored gamer has done to convince her thus far about the reality of her guesses.
Young Master Clark's speed alone and how he could see them spy unto him from afar was testament enough that this handsome young man was indeed not as he appeared he was.
It was simply an obvious tell of someone playing pig in order to eat the tiger. Our avid gamer's plot was just too ludicrous to believe at this point.
"You are one sharp lady, Gu Wenren. You must forgive me for I am indeed a person who loves to play games. And in more ways than one at that.
Now how should i enjoy myself at this time?" Clark mused out loud and it was at this time that he sat up on the bed to better acquaint himself with the rare beauty in his midst.
Long black hair, sweet arrogant eyes, a body to die for, and such lips that have never yet been conquered by any man or beast, Gu Wenren was indeed a prize to behold.
Nevertheless, it did not surprise our bored gamer that much because there was just an outright overabundance of fairies in this xianxia world. Other than that, Clark had seen better already.
'I wonder how it would feel if I could bed a True Goddess someday?'
Our bored gamer's thoughts wandered for a few breaths as he recalled the unequaled beauty that resided inside the soul of Twilight Moon.
That unknown goddess was perhaps the most wonderful thing that Clark has ever seen so far in his unwanted adventure in these xianxia lands.
"..." Gu Wenren has of course chosen this moment to keep her silence before the wiles of our op protagonist.
If Young Master Clark would have done evil unto her then she could only fight, tooth and nail before the inevitable would come.
Alas, Gu Wenren never had any hopes of resisting such a Supreme Existence like our bored gamer.
This showed well enough on how high her present estimation was of Young Master Clark's strength.
A full minute passed and it was at this time when our bored gamer finally gave his verdict.
"Since you wanted me to become your husband then it would be only precise that we consummate our agreement right here right now.
As it is, I don't need to catch you already because you have now come to my den willingly and of your own choice. Am i right, Gu Wenren?" Clark asked.
He remembered the bet between them and although he could have caught Gu Wenren from before but there were only too many witnesses on the scene during that time.
Doing that was tantamount to him giving up his play in this xianxia world.
'It would be over before it has ever begun. Hmmm... What choice do I have after I take this world as mine?
Well, perhaps i could travel to other realms in order to find some clue on how to escape the clutches of that fucking Elder God.'
'SIGH!'
'One step at a time. Everything will fall into place someday.' Clark thought as he awaited the reply of the quiet Gu Wenren.
Approximately five minutes to the dot and the lovely woman finally has a decision to call her own.
"What if i resist and say no, Senior? Would you still force yourself on me?" Gu Wenren queried in a hard voice.
"If you wish to break your promise then I would have no choice but to honor it. As you can see, i certainly have no lack of beautiful women around me."
Clark smiled and motioned quite plainly towards the frowning Lin Che on the corner.
"Don't use me in your plot, Foul Creature. I know that you have nothing good in mind. Especially not towards this pure maiden named Gu Wenren."
The Primal Warden broke her silence and then addressed Gu Wenren thereafter.
"I have already warned you, woman. It is best that you would listen to me this time around. You don't have to worry about anything because i could certainly kill this Foul Creature if he would only not resort to devious tricks in my front. Reject him and begone!
Never come back and I assure you that he could not even touch a single hair on your head. You have the word of a Primal Warden!"
Lin Che delivered her impassioned plea. In response, our bored gamer could only shake his head in disbelief.
'Tsk. Tsk. And here I thought I could get another harem member today.'
'I really need to get rid of this pesky woman soon!' Clark sighed.
"You have my thanks, Senior." Gu Wenren replied towards Lin Che.
She did not know what was happening here but she had eyes that could see and right now, it seemed that this mysterious woman did not appear like she was lying at all.
To add credence to her claim, Young Master Clark's helpless appearance punched the final nail in the coffin.
Thus Gu Wenren could only gamble in place but not to where the expectations of the majority was.
"I accept, Young Master Clark..." Gu Wenren started.
'WHAT?!' Our bored gamer was shocked inside but he did not let it show in his face at all.
'There must be some catch involved. Or have I become too handsome already that all women just can't help but fall in love with me at first sight.
Nah, wait for it and Gu Wenren definitely has something more to say.' Clark almost smiled in place as he predicted the actions of the woman standing near his bed.
"...but i have one condition." Gu Wenren continued.
'I knew it! Sigh!' Clark took a deep breath before he nodded in reply.
"Anything. Tell me what you want." Our bored gamer said.
"Before you take my body and make me your wife, i want to see The Demonic Sword Sect as the First Immortal Sect Under Heaven!"
Gu Wenren declared her piece and it did not take long for Clark to give his response to this requirement. Only one single breath to be exact!
"Consider it done." Our bored gamer grinned widely and he could already see the day when he could get Gu Wenren tightly in his arms. Soon.
* * *
"Why do men love to collect women? Aren't you ashamed of what you did? You pushed her into a trap! You are really extremely insidious, Foul Creature!"
Lin Che expressed from out of the blue. Their unexpected guest in Gu Wenren had already left some 20 minutes later and it was back to Clark and Lin Che alone in the chambers once more.
"Who knows?" Clark muttered and was not in a good mood to humor the Primal Warden at this time.
He looked back on his women so far and it could be easily noticed that they all had one thing in common.
'All of them are greedy. Every one of them has ulterior motives in being with me.'
'Wan Fei wanted fun and adventure. Someone strong and worthy to be her man. That's why she clung on me like a leech.'
'Lian Li and Lian Ah wanted security and refuge in this dog eat dog xianxia world. Why they chose to become one of my women.'
'And now Gu Wenren has freely delivered herself in order to ensure that The Demonic Sword Sect would last forever as the best sect in this xianxia world.'
'Can i really find true love amidst all of this chaos? Hmmm...' Clark pondered for a while and it did not need saying that he really did not like the direction he was going.
'Well... At least there is still Ning Xi and Tang Xinyue. If I just persevere enough, I think I could win their hearts someday.'
Our bored gamer ended his sad lament at this spot and a half breath later, a fresh smile was already decorating his face in full.
"Time for me to play a new RPG game!"
